Shiny Treasures  Booster Box 

The shiny treasures booster box is a Scarlet & Violet-era High Class Pack built around one of the most popular concepts in the Pokémon TCG: Shiny Pokémon.

Released in Japan on December 1, 2023, Shiny Treasure ex brought Shiny Pokémon back to the Scarlet & Violet era in a large, reprint-focused set. Alongside Shiny Pokémon, the expansion features Pokémon ex, Art Rare cards, Special Art Rare cards, gold Ultra Rare cards, and several popular Paldea characters.

The set is particularly notable for cards such as Shiny Charizard ex, Mew ex, Gardevoir ex, Iono, Mimikyu, Pikachu, and many other Shiny Pokémon.

With 360 numbered cards, Shiny Treasure ex is considerably larger than a standard Japanese expansion. It gives collectors a large checklist filled with different rarity tiers and Shiny variants.

What Is shiny treasures booster box?

shiny treasures booster box is a Japanese High Class Pack designed around Shiny Pokémon.

A Shiny Pokémon has a different coloration from its normal appearance. The Pokémon TCG has used Shiny Pokémon as a major collecting theme in several special expansions, and SV4a continues that tradition during the Scarlet & Violet era.

The main set contains 190 numbered cards, while cards numbered 191 through 360 make up the additional Shiny and high-rarity section. This creates a 360-card numbered checklist.

The set’s secret section is divided into six rarity groups:

• 129 Shiny Rare cards
• 18 Shiny Super Rare cards
• 4 Art Rare cards
• 5 Super Rare Trainer cards
• 8 Special Art Rare cards
• 6 Ultra Rare cards

This structure gives Shiny Treasure ex a much broader collecting experience than a conventional Pokémon booster set.

Shiny Treasures Booster Box Contents

A sealed Japanese Shiny Treasures Booster Box contains:

• 10 booster packs
• 10 cards per pack
• 100 cards per box

The official product information states that the cards are randomly inserted.

The 10-pack configuration is typical of Japanese High Class Packs and differs from the 30-pack configuration commonly seen with standard Japanese expansion boxes.

Because Shiny Treasure ex is designed as a high-class product, each pack contains more cards than a standard Japanese booster pack.

The 360-Card Shiny Treasure ex Checklist

The complete numbered checklist runs from 001/190 to 360/190.

The first 190 cards form the base set. These include regular Pokémon, Pokémon ex, Trainer cards, and other cards from the Scarlet & Violet era.

Cards numbered 191/190 through 360/190 form the Shiny and premium section.

The major sections are:

001–190: Main Set

This section includes the regular Pokémon and Pokémon ex cards.

Some notable examples include:

• Meowscarada ex
• Skeledirge ex
• Quaquaval ex
• Charizard ex
• Mew ex
• Gardevoir ex
• Great Tusk ex
• Pidgeot ex
• Miraidon ex
• Koraidon ex
• Iono

191–319: Shiny Rare

This is the largest premium section, containing 129 Shiny Rare cards.

These cards feature Pokémon with their Shiny coloration.

The section includes Pokémon such as:

• Oddish
• Gloom
• Vileplume
• Scyther
• Hoppip
• Jumpluff
• Charmander
• Charmeleon
• Charcadet
• Pawmi
• Mimikyu
• Ditto
• Snorlax
• Maushold
• Tandemaus
• and many others

The large S-tier section is one of the defining features of Shiny Treasure ex.

Shiny Charizard ex

One of the most recognizable cards in the set is Charizard ex.

Shiny Treasure ex contains Charizard ex in three different versions:

• 115/190 — regular Double Rare
• 331/190 — Shiny Super Rare
• 349/190 — Special Art Rare

The 331/190 SSR is a Shiny-colored full-art version, while 349/190 is a separate Special Art Rare printing.

This makes Shiny Treasure ex particularly relevant to Charizard collectors.

The distinction between the SSR and SAR versions is important. They are not duplicate listings of the same card. They are separate printings with different artwork and rarity treatments.

Mew ex

Mew is another major attraction of Shiny Treasure ex.

The set includes:

• Mew ex SSR — 327/190
• Mew ex SAR — 347/190

The SAR version gives Mew a larger illustrated scene and sits within the eight-card Special Art Rare section.

Mew’s presence at multiple premium rarities gives collectors several ways to approach the character within the same Japanese set.

Gardevoir ex

Gardevoir ex is another Pokémon with multiple premium treatments.

Its Shiny Super Rare version is:

• 328/190 — Gardevoir ex SSR

Its Special Art Rare version is:

• 348/190 — Gardevoir ex SAR

These two cards demonstrate the difference between the SSR and SAR sections of the set.

The Special Art Rare Cards

Shiny Treasure ex contains eight Special Art Rare cards, numbered 347 through 354.

They are:

• 347/190 — Mew ex
• 348/190 — Gardevoir ex
• 349/190 — Charizard ex
• 350/190 — Iono
• 351/190 — Nemona
• 352/190 — Clive
• 353/190 — Arven
• 354/190 — Penny

This is one of the most character-focused sections of the set. Four of the eight SARs feature Trainers from the Paldea region.

Iono’s 350/190 card should also be distinguished from the earlier Iono SAR from Clay Burst SV2D. They are different cards from different Japanese sets.

The 18 Shiny Super Rare Cards

The SSR section contains 18 Shiny Pokémon ex cards.

The checklist includes:

• Forretress ex — 320/190
• Meowscarada ex — 321/190
• Toedscruel ex — 322/190
• Espathra ex — 323/190
• Skeledirge ex — 324/190
• Quaquaval ex — 325/190
• Alakazam ex — 326/190
• Mew ex — 327/190
• Gardevoir ex — 328/190
• Glimmora ex — 329/190
• Great Tusk ex — 330/190
• Charizard ex — 331/190
• Paldean Clodsire ex — 332/190
• Iron Treads ex — 333/190
• Noivern ex — 334/190
• Pidgeot ex — 335/190
• Wigglytuff ex — 336/190
• Squawkabilly ex — 337/190

This section is especially interesting for collectors who want Shiny versions of Pokémon ex rather than standard Shiny Pokémon.

Art Rare Cards

There are four Art Rare cards in Shiny Treasure ex:

• Wugtrio — 338/190
• Palafin — 339/190
• Pawmi — 340/190
• Mimikyu — 341/190

These cards provide a different collecting experience from the Shiny cards.

Rather than simply changing a Pokémon’s color, the Art Rare treatment focuses on a more detailed illustrated scene.

Trainer Super Rare Cards

Five Trainer cards receive the Super Rare treatment:

• Judge — 342/190
• Nemona — 343/190
• Clive — 344/190
• Paldean Student — 345/190
• Paldean Student — 346/190

The two Paldean Student cards are separate illustrated printings despite sharing the same English card name.

This adds another collecting angle for people who enjoy Trainer cards rather than Pokémon alone.

The Six Gold Ultra Rare Cards

The final six cards in the numbered checklist are Ultra Rare cards.

They feature gold-style Pokémon ex cards:

• Wo-Chien ex — 355/190
• Chi-Yu ex — 356/190
• Chien-Pao ex — 357/190
• Miraidon ex — 358/190
• Ting-Lu ex — 359/190
• Koraidon ex — 360/190

These cards form the final section of the Shiny Treasure ex numbering.

The group is particularly notable because it features several powerful Legendary Pokémon from the Scarlet & Violet era.

Why Shiny Pokémon Matter in SV4a

The defining feature of Shiny Treasure ex is the large number of Shiny Pokémon.

Unlike a normal expansion where Shiny cards may be absent or limited, SV4a dedicates a substantial portion of its checklist to alternate-color Pokémon.

The 129-card Shiny Rare section makes this especially clear.

For collectors, this means the set can be approached in several ways:

• Collect the complete Shiny Rare section
• Focus on favorite Shiny Pokémon
• Collect Shiny Pokémon ex
• Focus on SAR cards
• Build a Charizard collection
• Collect Trainer SARs
• Collect the six gold Ultra Rares

This flexibility is one of the reasons High Class Packs appeal to collectors.

shiny treasures booster box vs English Paldean Fates

The English-language counterpart is Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Paldean Fates, released in January 2024.

However, Paldean Fates should not be treated as a direct one-to-one translation of SV4a.

The shiny treasures booster box checklist contains 360 numbered cards, while Paldean Fates has a different card pool and numbering system. The English release also incorporates cards from other Japanese products.

For collectors specifically interested in Japanese Pokémon cards, the original SV4a product has its own:

• Japanese packaging
• SV4a set code
• Japanese card text
• 10-pack box configuration
• 10-card booster packs
• 360-card Japanese checklist

The shiny treasures booster box combines several of the most recognizable collecting themes of the Scarlet & Violet era.

Its 360-card checklist contains ordinary Pokémon, Pokémon ex, 129 Shiny Rare cards, Shiny Pokémon ex, Art Rares, Trainer cards, Special Art Rares, and gold Ultra Rares.

The set’s headline cards include Shiny Charizard ex, Mew ex, Gardevoir ex, and Iono, while the large Shiny Rare section gives collectors a much wider selection of Pokémon to pursue.
